The Encore Group, Inc. has announced that the 1 new share
for 500 old shares reverse stock split adopted by the
shareholders on April 23, 1996, will be completed on August
8, 1996.
The amended Restated Articles of Incorporation adopted by
the shareholders provide that all redemptions be completed
90 days from the date of filing the Articles with the
Oregon Secretary of State. This filing date was May 10,
1996, which puts the completion date at August 8, 1996.
Shareholders were mailed documents advising them how to
submit their old shares for conversion to new shares in the
case of holdings of 500 old shares or more, or redemption
for $0.10 per share in the case of holdings smaller than
500 old shares.
Any shareholder who has not converted or redeemed by August
8, 1996, will lose any further opportunity to convert or
redeem their prior holdings.
Prior to 1991, Encore was known as American Guaranty Finan-
cial Corporation.
